Winter is coming and experts strongly advise against traveling to see the snow this holiday weekend!
A huge winter storm is expected to hit Lake Tahoe and the surrounding areas this weekend. According to the Sacramento Bee, the area is under storm watch effective 4am Friday to 4pm Saturday. Wind gusts are expected to reach 80 mph and "hazardous mountain conditions could cause significant travel delays, near whiteout conditions and possible road closures." Tree damage is also a possibility.
SF GATE also suggests that those who decided to make the trip should be prepared with tire chains and plan for a longer drive with extra water, snacks and an emergency kit in case they get stuck or delayed for an extended amount of time.
